Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company (ADNIC), one of the leading regional multi-line insurance providers for both corporates and individuals, has announced a strategic partnership with the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme (SZHP) to launch a specialised life insurance offering for eligible UAE nationals.
The partnership was formalised as part of a signing ceremony in Dubai in July, marking the official public launch of the programme.
ADNIC manages and leads the insurance programme alongside other leading insurance companies in the UAE that are associated with the programme.
The initiative will provide life insurance coverage up to the age of 95, substantially extending beyond the market norm of 70 years old. This enables Emiratis aged up to 70 to still qualify for housing loans with a maximum tenure of 25 years, significantly enhancing financial inclusion for older borrowers.
The housing loans under the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme are administered through leading local banks. M
